Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 232nd DC

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation for a prior case when an out of state detention flagged a probation warrant for alleged violations, including failing to report, leaving the jurisdiction, unpaid fees, and a positive test that matched a prescribed medication. We obtained the violation packet, coordinated with probation and the court to lift the hold, and compiled records showing a valid prescription and documented housing and financial instability. We pressed the prosecutor on proof of willful noncompliance and presented the mitigating evidence. The State dismissed the revocation and the matter was closed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Coryell County, None

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute after an argument at a home escalated and a thrown household item struck the complainant, causing visible swelling noted by officers and EMS. The client left the scene, later contacted police, and was arrested on a warrant. We obtained the 911 audio, body camera footage, photos, and the reports and scrutinized the investigation. From the start, the complainant made clear she did not wish to pursue charges. With no independent witnesses and limited cooperative testimony, we compiled mitigation and pressed the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Fleeing a Police Officer

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #2

Allegations

Police accused the client of fleeing after an attempted traffic stop near a residence. The client maintained that no emergency lights or siren were activated. We obtained home security video showing the patrol vehicle trailing without lights moments after the client passed, then pressed for dash and bodycam and compared them to the report. The inconsistencies undercut the allegation that the client knowingly evaded. Using that leverage, we negotiated deferred adjudication probation with reduced financial terms, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Gillespie County, CCL

Allegations

After a dispute over a bar tab, staff called police. The client had already pulled over when officers arrived, performed field sobriety tests, and later provided a breath sample under .15. We obtained the reports and any video, scrutinized how the tests were given, and emphasized her clean history and cooperation. We also lined up alcohol education and an evaluation to reduce conditions and pursue an interlock waiver. The prosecution agreed to deferred probation, preserving the chance to keep a conviction off her record.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #3

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation when the state filed to revoke, alleging violations. We pulled the probation file, scrutinized the violation report, and compiled documentation showing meaningful steps toward compliance. Armed with that record, we pressed negotiations to narrow the allegations and to credit time already spent in custody. The state agreed to reduce the sanction. The court accepted a plea with credit for time served, and the matter was closed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Guadalupe County, None

Allegations

Police responded to a suspicious-vehicle call near a bar and stopped our client as he left the lot. He acknowledged having a few drinks over several hours and declined roadside field sobriety tests. He was arrested and a blood sample was taken under a warrant. We challenged the legal basis for the stop and the shift to a DWI investigation, and scrutinized the blood-draw procedures and paperwork for defects. After we laid out those evidentiary problems to the prosecutor, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Harris County, CC8

Allegations

After a minor crash, the client waited at a nearby lot for police. Officers reported open containers, administered field sobriety tests, and later obtained a breath test reading over .15. We pulled the body and dash videos, scrutinized the instructions given during the tests, and obtained the breath device maintenance logs and observation period records. We highlighted the lack of injuries and other mitigating factors while pressing the state on evidentiary gaps. The result was a negotiated term of probation with no jail time and conditions the client could manage.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL8

Allegations

After a traffic stop for alleged speeding, our client was arrested for DWI. They declined a breath test, and officers obtained a warrant for a blood draw; an open container was also documented. We secured the videos and observed solid performance on the field tests, with communication issues due to a language barrier noted throughout. When the blood results came back at 0.05, below the legal limit, we challenged intoxication and the reliability of the investigation. Facing weak evidence, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Comal County, CC3

Allegations

Stopped after pulling out of a lot without headlights, the client admitted to drinking and was arrested after field sobriety tests. A blood draw reported a BAC just over .15, and the case was filed as a Class A DWI with prior history raising the stakes. We obtained the video, which showed only a brief period of driving, and scrutinized the FSTs and the basis for the stop. We also had the client complete DWI education and related steps early. Leveraging those mitigations, we pressed the state and secured a reduction to a Class B DWI with deferred probation.

Charge

Disorderly Conduct (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, Justice of the Peace 3

Allegations

The client was ticketed for Class C disorderly conduct after a school incident. Staff insisted the student move while they were on the phone with a parent, a fire alarm sounded, campus police arrived, and the situation escalated. Administrators alleged profane remarks and that a chair was thrown at a wall, but no one was harmed. We obtained school and police records, pressed for any camera and body camera footage, and presented the IEP and safety-plan context along with the weeks long delay in filing. Confronted with these issues and a prepared defense, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Hays County, 428th District Court

Allegations

While on felony probation, the client faced a revocation filing after alleged violations tied to a separate incident. We engaged immediately with community supervision and the prosecutor, secured a fresh substance-use evaluation, and assembled records showing ongoing compliance and progress in treatment. We pushed for an outpatient plan rather than any custodial sanction and asked that punitive action be paused while we supplied documentation. After reviewing our materials, the State backed off and the court dismissed the revocation.

Charge

Sexual Assault

Location

Bexar County, DC175

Allegations

During a contentious child support dispute, our client was arrested after a scheduled child exchange and accused of sexual assault tied to a past relationship. We obtained CPS and law enforcement records, lined up the timeline with family-court filings, and identified credibility issues and a strong motive behind the complaint. We compiled inconsistencies between initial reports and later statements and put that in front of the prosecutor. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to reduce the charge and we secured deferred probation.
